Research suggests a strong correlation linking academic achievement and mental health outcomes in children with emotional disturbance (ED) (Kauffman, 2005; U.S. Department of Education, 2006). However, the exact nature of this critical relationship remains unclear. This study used a series if regression analyses and Z-Tests to investigate the predictive relationship of measures of academic achievement in determining social-emotional function over time. Examined was a sample of 261 students receiving special education and mental health services at a treatment center. Academic, mental health and demographic information was gathered from a preexisting archive. Students were assessed annually using the KTEA-II in the areas of reading, writing, and mathematics. Assessment of students’ day-to-day social-emotional functioning was measured using the Ohio Scales. Results indicated that, after a year’s time, the predictive value of writing achievement in determining social-emotional functioning was statistically significant and the relationship strengthened with time. Implications of the study are explored.
